For Nykanen, the love of hound hunting has transformed wildly-decorated camp southwest of Bayfield. Comical bear lawn ornaments populate the yard. A dozen hunting hounds sleep out back. He calls it 'Finnsville' -- a place where he and his favorite hunting dog 'Reuben' enjoy the love of the chase.

"One day last week, the bear bit him in the ham... right here on the hip" said Nykanen, describing the dangers of bear hunting, as he lavished attention on his favorite hound.

Lately, however, Nykanen says bears have been the least of Reuben's fears. That's because Wisconsin's growing wolf population has lately turned its attention to dogs invading their territory, and that fact has made Nykanen rather nervous.

"And then they eat 'em. All that's left when they're done – they eat the bones and all —– is the skull, and maybe the collar that's on 'em. That's all that's left," Nykanen said, describing the wolf attacks he's seen.
